    Talking Update on my green

    Valentines day was the first day of feeding this guy since he arrived...and as you can imagine i was NERVOUS. We all know annies are picky eaters but i had some faith seeing as my lil guy came from a trustworthy breeder that raised him right, non the less, Shawn did a good job raising this fella....need less to say he took his first meal with NO problems what.so.ever.

    I think he ate live before but im proud to say i got him converted to F/T on the first shot.

    And did i mention i got a VIDEO?
    My wife was brave enough to record it for me lol (Sorry i couldn't figure out how to upload it to Youtube from my phone so i used TinyPic)
    View My Video

    And here's a picture if you can't view the video

    Very nice. As far as being picky eater's? I wouldn't know anything about that. Maybe when there super young like your's? When I got my granite yellow's I bought them unseen. So, I was expecting 1.1 24" babies instead I got 3.5' babies. I haven't officially weighed or measured my annies lately? But, I know there over 4' by now,lol.
    They have INSANE feeding strikes so be prepared. Today was a feeding day and my male shot across his tub in the air and took the med f/t rat from my $1 plastic grabber! Scared the crap out me! Lately, he likes to stalk then strike and coil. He was obviously super hungry today.

    Yeah you couldn't see it in the video but i jumped a bit lol kinda caught me off guard, wasn't expecting a quick strike like that at all haha!

    I plan on starting his handling schedule this weekend but i may wait untill i actualy get him on a good feeding schedule, the last thing i want to do is stress him out. But other than that hes doing great.

    Well, that's good to hear. I did finally get a reponse from your guy.
    I'm sorry did you say that the yellow anacondas he has are 1.1? Since, technically I have yellow anacondas. I might go with 1.1 green's. Does your guy do the snake thing for a living or is this a hobby?

    Idk the sex of the yellows but he actualy owns his own reptile shop, so technically he has a business and a hobby i guess lol.

    Im sure he can get you some greens, when i was on the phone with him last he was talking about some imports coming in soon to miami. He said he might get a couple. He cleans em up good though and gets them eating quick. I mean mines an import he raised and look at him lol flawless.

    All in all Shawns a great guy and knows his stuff.

    Btw i think i saw you comment on his facebook page, i sent you a message cause i thought it was you. If so add me bro.
